B well - Staff Health and Wellbeing

Belfast Trust is committed to the improvement of the health and wellbeing of our employees. Through the implementation of leading edge initiatives and the use of robust evaluation we endeavour to reduce the impact of negative health behaviours and to promote those behaviours that are known to improve health.

We believe that through the improvement of the general health and wellbeing of our employees we will be able to continue to improve the quality of care to all of our service users.

In November 2015 we launched the new b well website and app - two new tools to support the health and wellbeing of Belfast Trust staff

B WELL WEBSITE

Many staff may not have access to a PC during the course of their working day. This site allows staff to access wellbeing advice and support from their home or on their smart phone, any time of day or night.

B WELL APP

The App contains some unique content that has been composed by a variety of Belfast Trust health professionals including Occupational Health Physiotherapists, Clinical Psychologists, Cognitive Behaviour Therapists and members of the Health Improvement team.

This content includes over 50 videos and over 90 minutes of voice recordings. The app format allows busy Belfast Trust staff the opportunity to dip in and out of resources at a time that is most convenient to them.
